Hurricane Ditka, Shodan, Octopus, and BigT...

Step 1: Find the nearest mirror.

Step 2: Look at the face staring back at you.

Step 3: Ask, “Is this what my life has become?”

Such ableistisms! Prepare yourself for a sanctimonious lecture from bone.

While that was a pretty funny post, one of the best in this thread, I don’t know why you would think I should have any regrets. I am offering a solution to other people who seem to have a problem. It isn’t their preferred solution i.e. that the Mighty Morphin’ Mod Squad make me go away. That, though, is just infantilism. They want the big people to do it for them instead of using the perfectly workable solution in front of them.

A long time ago, one of my teachers asked me whether I would rather insist on doing it my way and failing or would I consider doing in another way and getting the result I desired. She was pretty fucking smart.

Ill pay you to post a pic of yourself holding a piece of paper that says, “My name is Scumpup and I ride me leetle bicicleta and sell tacos and burritos”.
C’mon. I’ll treat you right man. Just do it. C’mon. Name your fee.

That’s an odd request man. But who am I to judge?

That’s the right attitude to have.

I’d ask what you’re talking about, but I suspect you don’t even know. None of what you’ve said seems to apply to anything I, Sunny Daze, or kaylasdad99 has done.

You do seem to be trying to bully people, but failing because you don’t make sense.

I’m convinced that people who are casually cruel have to have it worse. I mean, I still have people who love and care about me.

Throwing your hat into the ring in case the Repubs need a presidential candidate?

You are octopus, and you judge people all the fricken’ time.

Glad I could help.

Wow, look guys, I was totally wrong aboujt this fuck, he’s actually a contributing member of the board!

No, wait. He’s a fucking troll and a degenerate piece of crap. Why is he still here??? How is it improving our message board to have hi m Here? How is this post, and the overall tone of his posts combined, not EXACTLY the sort of thing that the Don’t Be A Jerk rule is meant to address??

It can be unpleasant to be a conservative in a liberal echo chamber. Heck it’s not easy being a moderate liberal in a liberal echo chamber these days.

I don’t know why they put up with it. Their lives would be more enjoyable if they just abandoned this place and just checked in from time to time. It’s not like there’s a lot of ignorance fighting going on here anymore.

Nonsense. This is not a liberal echo chamber. This is a forum for intelligent debate.

And that’s what a lot of right wingers have a problem with; their arguments can’t handle intelligent rebuttal. They come in here and say something stupid (“Donald Trump is the greatest president ever.”) and other people point out the flaws in their argument and present the evidence to support their positions. Then the right wingers start crying and calling us a bunch of mean poopyheads.

Hurricane Ditka, octopus, and scumpup are all prime examples of this.

We are a bunch of mean poopyheads. We are just a bunch of smart mean poopyheads! No fair!

First you need to calm down. You are getting too worked up and we wouldn’t want you to have a stroke.

Two stirring up drama like your emotional self is doing is for realz trolling.

Finally, this don’t be a jerk thing was addressed explicitly by Ed in a thread about dearly flounced Morgenstern. Use some Google fu and search it out.

Because he very much doesn’t care, and scorns people who do, but at the same time he does need an audience watching him *ultra *not caring. Which is also why he can’t be satisfied with just being any old asshole, he has to be a special kind of asshole.

Narcissism is one hell of a drug. Just not the kind that makes you happy, carefree and fun to be around.

Fuck off. Putz.

White knighting on the Internet still won’t contribute to a change in your incel status. Not even if you combined it with a “m’lady” and a tip of your sweaty fedora.

You know, when you get to the “fuck off” stage as all you can think of to say, you give an appearance of sputtering, impotent, angry incoherence. I try to disengage before I reach that stage, not always successfully I admit. You do what suits you best. I’m sure it sounded better in your head when you painstakingly composed it.

Uhm… that was just a clever way of calling you stupid.

On the other hand: she sugar-coated an insult so well that you were still gaslighted what, 40, 50 years later? Yeah, she’s pretty good.
